Achivadolimni Anchorage (Milos Bay)

36° 41.5′ N · 24° 26.9′ E

The anchorage off Milos's longest beach, at the southern head of Milos Bay near the airport.

Practical

Sailing Issues: useful in southerly winds, but sand over rock may hold poorly, so dig in well and check. Open to the north across the whole bay, so in a meltemi it gets a long fetch and windsurf-grade chop; move to Adamas. Beach bars and a taverna ashore.

Best for

Southerly-wind shelter with a long beach

Season

S winds; choppy in the meltemi
